It’s the best time of the year in the Bay — leaves are changing color, the air is crisp and cool, and our Indian Summer begins. Fall is right around the corner and for me, that means great outdoor running (or walking) weather plus fun events like Oktoberfest and Halloween. Want to get the most out of Fall? The Bay offers some seriously fun themed runs and walks for those trying to stay fit, those who want to soak up the holiday festivities, or even for avid runners. Even if you aren’t a runner, these themed races just might entice (or even scare) you to get up and dust off the old sneakers.
Superhero Run – Oct. 9, 2016, Fremont
Offers: 5K, 10K, Half Marathon
In the beautiful setting of Quarry Lakes, the Superhero Run suggests you come dressed as your favorite Superhero. If you can’t decide on a character, don’t like anyone in particular, or just want to flex your creativity muscles, you can create your own superhero costume (maybe even one that’ll make you finish the race faster!). You’ll receive a commemorative shirt as well as free giveaways and a medal if you cross the finish line. #swag
Foam Glow 5K – Oct. 15, 2016, San Jose
Offers: 5K run or walk
Foam Partay! The Foam Glow 5K is a foam party and a run (or walk) mixed together under an insane amount of black lights. Held at the Santa Clara Fairgrounds, the Foam Glow has designated foam zones in orange, pink, or blue while you run or walk. Don a white shirt to get the most out of the foam party — you’ll end up with a festive tye-dyed shirt by the time you reach the finish line. And don’t rush home afterwards, there’s plenty more foam in the afterglow party with pumping music.

Pumpkin Run – Oct. 16, 2016, Half Moon Bay

You’ll leave this race with an actual pumpkin (perfect for making a Halloween Jack-o-Lantern) plus you’ll receive a shirt and a light breakfast. Along with a 5K and a 10K, they also offer a 5K Obstacle Challenge with activities along the course.

Hella-Ween 5K – Oct. 22, 2016, Oakland

The Hella-Ween 5K should be hella fun considering you’ll get to run or walk along Lake Merritt at dusk. Costumes are encouraged so you’ll get a chance to wear that $70 Spirit costume you’ve got saved for your Halloween party more than once. Join in on this party on the lake — each participant will receive a performance shirt, some other goodies, and not one, but TWO beers! Hell-ya!
The Running Dead IV– Oct. 23, 2016, Union City
Offers: 5K and 10K run or walk, Zombie challenge (extra $5 to join)
Run for your life! The Zombie apocalypse has begun. You can either choose to run for fun or join the Zombie Challenge where you’ll have two flags attached to your hips and during the race, you’ll have to escape sneaky zombies. If you make it to the finish line with both flags attached, you’ll be entered into a raffle for a prize. Each runner or walker will receive a shirt and there’s a fierce costume contest. A waffle truck and body composition testing truck will be on-site (though I don’t think those two things should go hand-in-hand).

Offers: 5K Run or Walk as a Zombie or Non-Zombie
The name of this fun run says it all. With Halloween a couple of days away, this run will surely get you in the mood for the upcoming holiday.
